Message from President Clive Couldwell - Remuera Lions Club
A Message from President Clive Couldwell about last night's Remuera Lions Junior Citizenship awards.
As I returned home from this event 30 or so minutes ago., I thought. . . . WHAT A FANTASTIC EVENING!!
The hall was packed with lots of happy people.
The Dilworth Junior Campus Kapa Haka Group were very enthusiastic with their Powhiri and Waiata.
And our guest speaker, Brendan Dooley. SOMETHING AGAIN!!
In his short life he had to handle some adversity but had risen above it all and made a very successful career in magic – not only in New Zealand but in Australia, Asia and the USA, and he will perform this year in our annual Magic Show just before Christmas.
I can’t fully describe the tricks he showed but, in magic, everything is possible – even the impossible.
Brendan's message was very positive!
Lots of thanks to everyone involved.
Most importantly to the parents for raising such amazing children.
We also would like to thank Peter Vos, Principal of Dilworth Junior School and Huhana Rowland, for organising everything at the School for this event.
Thank you too, to all the School Principals who nominated these Amazing Children! Well done!
Remuera Lions can be justly proud of what we achieved this evening

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
